I have made one of these cards for Marlene's mum as she is recovering an injury at the moment.

All the papers used are by K&co. I made the sentiments on my computer. The images are coloured with distress inks.

Materials used:
Psx stamp: Bear
Papers are all K&co
Flowers are from prima
Embellishments are made up of bits I have.
All images are coloured with distress inks.
Thanks you so much for stopping by and having a look x

truck load of greetings

After a busy start to the week, I have managed to get into gear and complete the obligatory 3 cards on a theme.
On the high-hopes challenge blog this week they would like you to sponge your project. I have used sponging to colour the background on these cards. I have followed the Sketch-saturday sketch which was fun.
I love this stamp as the kids are sooooo cute. I wanted to make the most of the stamp and have adapted it to cover a series of occasions and made sentiments to compliment the image.
For the thanksgiving card I have used some paper that I have had for years and never got round to using.
I have replaced the pumpkin with easter eggs to make an easter card. I have used imaginesce papers and nestiblities to cut the shapes.For the birthday card I have used a cupcake instead of the pumpkin. I have gone for a neutral colour scheme as I think these cards would be great from kids to grandparents.
I have used the birthday cuttlebug folders to make the background and basic grey papers inside and out.
I was hoping this image would come up alittle bigger but this is the images lined up.

Stamp: High hopes Wagons full of blessings

Papers: Easter Imaginesce, Birthday basic grey

Flowers: Prima

Coloured with copic pens.

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you like what you see.

My heart and chocolate!!

Took awhile to bring this one together but I think I got there in the end.
I have used Tilda holding the heart and sat her on the box of chocolates from Alota rubber. These are coloured with copic pens. I used my nestibilities to make some layers for the background.
I would say I am so lucky to get my hands on these Martha Stewart punches but I paid the earth for them and now I am so glad as they are great. I have put some red paper behind the little hearts to pick them out better and blend with the card better.
On the inside I have used the nestibilities to make some layers and the sentiment is printed of my computer. I used the stamps from the two scoops to add abit more detail, I stamped them with versamark and then chalked them.
I am joining the Basic-grey challenge blog with this card. They have a recipe to follow. Ingredients: 2 Patterned papers, 1 Button, 1 Ribbon and Bow and 3 Brads.
I have followed the great sketch from Sketch-saturday blog and joining the Spoon-full-of-sugar challenge which is "Love is in the air".

Magnolia stamp: tilda with heart
Alota rubber stamp: chocolate box
Basicgrey paper:Two scoops
Basicgrey stamps: Two scoops for inside
Coloured with copic pens

Anya rocks!

I have so enjoyed making this card. I followed the sketch on sketch-saturday. I knew exactly how I wanted it to look, I hope you like it.I have used a few stamps to make this card. The main image is rockstar anya from the-greeting-farm. She is just the cutest rock star. She is coloured with copic pens, I think I am almost getting there with them.

I used my reinkers to make the papers the colour that I wanted. The other stamp set used is from inkadinkado stamps caled rock star they have been used for the front and inside of the card. The paper stock on the inside was white at the beginning and then I used the re inkers and ink pad to make a suitable paper for the inside of the card.


Materials used:

Stamp:

Pink posion stamp: Rockstar Anya

Inkadinkado: Rock star

Papers:

Paper pizazz: Red music background

Basic grey: Red

Both papers have been coloured with Tim Holtz reinkers to make them more compatable.

just for you

What a hard card this was to make!! I made the mistake of colouring the image before I thought about my papers and I feel it lacks something.
I have followed the sketch on sketch-saturday challenge blog. You may notice that I like joining the challenge blogs, for me they take me outside my comfort zone that is my head and helps me to develope or at least I think so lol.
I have used the K&co christmas papers and matting papers to create this card. I have added glitter and bling here and there. I have used one of my new hanglar images aren't they the cutest sent to me by my special angel ;0)
Stamp: Hanglar & Stanglar
Papers: K&co

herd its your day

Got this little cutie of a stamp from Sugar Nellie while at the SECC. I hope I have remembered right, she is called Custard.
I have used the sketch from Sketch-saturday and it was great to work with.I have done very little with this card.
Stamped the image and coloured with copic pens. Chalked around the image so it didn't look so stark. Papers are from imaginisce. Couple of different ribbons. I created the greeting with a stamp alphabet and the 'its your day' bit is a studio g stamp. Hope you like it.
